HONOLULU (AP) A former Honolulu police lieutenant must report to prison next week to serve a three-and-a-half year sentence in Hawaii s biggest ever corruption case after a U.S. judge denied his request to remain free while he appeals his conviction.
A judge denied Derek Wayne Hahn s motion at a hearing Tuesday, said his defense attorney, Victor Bakke.
A jury convicted Hahn, another former police officer, a former Honolulu police chief and the ex-chief’s former prosecutor wife of conspiracy in a plot to frame a man.

HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - The state Transportation Department is preparing for the first installation of red light cameras to catch drivers on Oahu.
Similar programs on the mainland have been banned after lawsuits and complaints were issued, in part, because the cameras donât punish the driver but instead fault the vehicle owner.
That means people who loan their cars to relatives or friends could be hit with citations that amount to more than $100 each.
